I wanna be like Esther Bold in front of power She was scared She could be killed She fasted and prayed Went to the king Did the right thing Chorus: It is easier to stay quiet Courage helps me speak up It is safer to just blend in Courage helps me stand out No need to shout No need to fight Just pray and walk In God’s glorious light In my school or at home I’ll have choices to make Comfort or the right thing Truth or will I cheat Stand up for a friend in need Admit when I am wrong What will I choose Chorus: It is easier to stay quiet Courage helps me speak up It is safer to just blend in Courage helps me stand out No need to shout No need to fight Just pray and walk In God’s glorious light
